James Bond stuntman in accident on 'Skyfall' set in Turkey

A stuntman on James Bond movie Skyfall has been involved in an accident during filming in Turkey.

The stunt performer on the Daniel Craig-starring film lost control of his motorcycle and crashed into the front of a 330-year-old shop in Istanbul, according to Turkish broadcaster NTV (via Reuters).

The owner of the shop Mete Boybeyi said: "It is very nice for the Grand Bazaar to be chosen as a location for shooting this kind of movie. But the bazaar's administration... didn't notify us the shooting would be like this.

"This place is regulated by the Council of Monuments. We can't even change our window without their permission."

Skyfall is due to be released on October 26 in the UK and November 9 in the US, starring Craig as James Bond and Dame Judi Dench as M alongside Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes.
